i know it’s an example of me taking idioms too literally, but the phrase “when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail” never fails to make me imagine something like when that lion in madagascar starts hallucinating all his friends as slabs of steak

fireflies lighting up a rural Pennsylvania field at dusk
As a european i sometimes forget furefkied are actually real and not american folklore/cryptids. Like you’ve got friendly little bugs that glow in the dark….. b r uh
(There are fireflies in some parts of Europe but more excitingly there are glow worms in Europe, which are like somebody broke open a green glow stick and spattered lumps of the material on the grass. That solid, artificial-looking green glow is very, very exciting if you grew up with fireflies. Like, it seems reasonable to have little bugs that flash - who hasn’t flashed on a warm summer night? I ask you unanswerably - so it’s cool to witness OMINOUS GLOW DROPS. They look like a dropped magical item.)
(Conversely: If you grew up with glow worms, then bright yellow flashy guys are very exciting. They’re making little patterns! They’re like magical little sprites! Like sparks, going the wrong way! Like a CGI effect!)
There is something here about being glad (not sanctimonious) when visitors and pilgrims are pleased by your local glow.
This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.
If this sort of weight-based medical bias happens to any of y'all, politely tell the doctor (during your visit) that you want them to write in your file that they are refusing ordering tests for you because of your current weight. This usually causes them to order the test anyways because they do NOT want a malpractice suit. Remember: You want to make a paper trail to hold them accountable.
Defund the police. Communities can police themselves with the resources.
This headline is wild to think about. Could you imagine your field of work being labeled the leading cause of death in the entire fucking country and not having to worry about being unemployed by weeks end? I doubt any pig who reads this is even remotely worried about their job. It’s fucking insane.
